NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang revealed two pivotal developments during an exclusive interview with China Central Television (CCTV) today. The U.S. government has formally approved export licenses for the company's H20 artificial intelligence chips destined for China, clearing the path for immediate shipments. "We've received authorization to commence deliveries, enabling us to initiate H20 sales in the Chinese market," declared an enthusiastic Huang. "I'm thrilled about shipping these processors shortly—this represents exceptionally positive news."
Simultaneously, Huang announced NVIDIA's upcoming release of the RTX Pro graphics processing unit, engineered specifically for computationally intensive applications. "This new GPU carries strategic significance," he emphasized, "with tailored capabilities for computer graphics rendering, digital twin simulations, and artificial intelligence workloads."
This breakthrough follows Washington's April decision to prohibit H20 exports to China. Designed explicitly for compliance with U.S. export controls, the China-market H20 accelerator leverages NVIDIA's Hopper architecture and incorporates CoWoS advanced packaging technology. While optimized for vertical industry model training and inference tasks, its specifications cannot accommodate trillion-parameter large language model training requirements. Benchmark assessments indicate the H20 delivers marginally superior performance compared to the 910B processor.
